Interior, Exterior or Full Detail?

Interior, Exterior or Full Detail?

Car care guide
4 min readBy Metro Auto SpaUpdated October 2026

Quick answer

Pick an interior detail if the cabin looks, feels or smells tired. Pick an exterior hand wash if the paint looks dirty or dull. Pick a complete detail if you are selling, returning a lease, or it has been a while since either was done.

Not every car needs everything every time. Here is how to decide, and how our three packages map to what you actually see in your car.

Interior Revive: from $165

A full interior reset. Every seat, surface and mat is cleaned so your cabin looks and smells fresh again. See Interior Revive.

  • Crumbs, dust and dirty mats
  • Stains, spills or kids' mess
  • Pet hair or odours (add Fur Free from $75)
  • A cabin that just feels tired

Exterior Revival: from $80

A careful hand wash and protection for a clean, glossy finish. See Exterior Revival.

  • Road dirt, bugs and salt on the paint
  • A dull finish that needs a refresh
  • Maintenance between full details

Complete Auto Revive: from $210

Our full detail: Interior Revive plus Exterior Revival, in one visit. See Complete Auto Revive.

  • Selling the car or returning a lease
  • The first detail in a long time
  • A new-to-you car you want to start fresh
  • Getting everything done in a single appointment

How often should you detail your car?

A common rhythm is a full detail once or twice a year, with an exterior hand wash between. If you have pets, kids or a long commute, an interior reset more often keeps things manageable.

Questions

Quick answers.

Do I need water and power for an interior detail?

No. Interior services do not need a hookup. Exterior washes need an outdoor tap and an outlet.

Can I add pet hair removal?

Yes. Fur Free starts from $75 and can be added when you book.

How long does a detail take?

It depends on the package and your vehicle. We confirm the timing when you book.
